- Zêrkaris Outer Frame - The outer chassis of the lightsaber is forged from Zêrkaris, a Sith-alchemized alloy that resists lightsaber strikes, blaster fire, and kinetic force. Its jagged, blackened emitter shroud doubles as a melee weapon, capable of tearing through flesh and armor during close quarters combat. The metal radiates an aura of dread, unnerving Force sensitives and strengthening the wielder's affinity with the Dark Side.
- Blood-Forged Aurodium Inlays - The hilt is inlaid with streaks of Blood-Forged Aurodium, alchemically infused with sacrificial blood and Sith incantations. This material enhances the user's aggression and strength when enraged, feeding off pain and battle-lust. As blood is spilled in combat, the lightsaber becomes more energized, amplifying its destructive potential.
- Obsidian Voidshards Core - Embedded within the inner workings of the hilt, Obsidian Voidshards shroud the lightsaber in Force-negating silence. When deactivated, the weapon becomes very difficult to detect through the Force, offering a strategic edge against Jedi and other Force sensitives. However, this same feature slightly dampens the user's connection to the blade unless actively fueled by powerful Dark Side focus.
- Sith Rune-Inscribed Blackstone Accents - Sith runes carved into Blackstone along the hilt act as arcane conduits for ritual energy and Force augmentation. These inscriptions not only enhance the saber's resistance and longevity but also allow it to serve as a focus for Sith sorcery. In battle or ritual, the blade amplifies powers like Force Fear, Drain, and Sith spells with terrifying efficacy.
- Jagged Split Emitter Claws - The emitter claws are carved from Sith Rune-Inscribed Blackstone, hewn directly from the remnants of a forgotten Sith shrine desecrated in ancient war. These claws are etched with enduring Sith runes that seethe with latent sorcery, allowing them to trap enemy lightsabers, tear through armor, or maim in close quarters. Each strike with them channels the malice of the shrine's long-dead priests, imbuing the weapon with a spiritual violence that lingers even after the wound is dealt.
- Qapqorit Crystal Blade - The heart of the saber is a Qapqorit crystal, which produces a molten-red blade that appears thick and unstable, pulsing with raw energy. Its chaotic plasma composition creates a resonance frequency with lightsaber resistant material, often overwhelming or bypassing the material's anti-lightsaber properties. The visual intensity of the blade also intimidates and unsettles enemies, reinforcing the weapon's psychological dominance.
- VT Disruptor Lens - The VT Disruptor Lens warps the saber's energy output, giving the blade a serrated edge and chaotic cutting pattern. Upon contact with Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, it delivers a disruptive jolt that bypasses the organic energy field and cuts through the biotechnology as though it were ordinary material.
- Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse - This lightsaber is equipped with a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse, allowing the blade to function underwater without destabilizing. The ignition pulse regulates and splits the plasma stream through a modified magnetic containment field, maintaining blade integrity even when submerged. This feature ensures the saber remains a deadly and reliable weapon in aquatic environments, making it ideal for operations on oceanic worlds or during surprise amphibious assaults.
- Dark Side Resonance Core - At its center, the lightsaber pulses with a core of Dark Side resonance, feeding on hatred, pain, and conflict. This core strengthens the wielder's connection to abilities like Force Rage, Fear, and Drain, acting as a living extension of their will. Light-sided users who attempt to wield it are overwhelmed by its malicious presence and find the blade nearly unusable.
- Indestructible Arsenal - The frame's incredible resilience makes it nearly impervious to physical and energy-based damage, allowing the wielder to use the hilt as a weapon in its own right.
- Blood-Fueled Ferocity - The saber grows stronger and more vicious the longer it is used in combat, turning each drop of blood spilled into fuel for greater power.
- Force Cloak - When deactivated, the lightsaber becomes difficult to detect through the Force, ideal for stealth operations or ambushes.
- Ritual Conduit - These runes bolster Sith sorcery and dark Force powers, making the saber a formidable focus for rituals and destructive spells.
- Blade Snare - The emitter claws can trap or tear through enemy blades and armor, delivering both physical and spiritual trauma through their shrine-born curse.
- Chaos Incarnate - Its molten, unstable plasma can cut through lightsaber resistant material, and unnerve even seasoned combatants with its raw intensity.
- Anti-Yuuzhan Vong - The blade's unique frequency can bypassing the organic energy field generated by Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, cutting through it as though it were ordinary material.
- Aquatic Superiority - Allows the lightsaber to operate flawlessly underwater, providing tactical superiority in aquatic or high-moisture environments.
- Will Made Weapon - It amplifies the wielder's Dark Side abilities in combat, acting as a sentient extension of their rage, hatred, and will to dominate.
- Heaviness of Power - The dense, alchemized metal adds considerable weight to the saber, slightly reducing agility and increasing fatigue during prolonged combat.
- Slave to Rage - Its power depends on the user's emotional volatility; in calm or controlled states, its enhancements are significantly diminished.
- Dimming the Flame - The Force-dampening effect can slightly disrupt the user's reflexes and Force-channeling unless continuously overwhelmed with strong Dark Side intent.
- Arcane Vulnerability - If damaged or disrupted, the corrupted inscriptions can backlash or destabilize the saber's energy field temporarily.
- Clumsy Precision - The irregular claw design increases the saber's ignition time and can be cumbersome in confined or precision-based combat.
- Unstable Core - The chaotic energy sometimes causes minor fluctuations in blade stability, requiring a skilled user to avoid self-injury or unintentional discharge.
- Overload Risk - The unpredictable energy flow requires regular re-calibration, and a malfunctioning lens can emit distorted or misaligned blades.
- Complex Mechanics - The modified ignition system is more complex than standard variants, making it more vulnerable to overload if critically damaged.
- Rejection of the Light - Light-sided Force users cannot wield it without extreme resistance or backlash, making the weapon highly exclusive and potentially unstable in mixed-alignment environments.
Following the Battle in the Wellspring, the newly revitalized Darth Carnifex returned to the galaxy with a new perspective on existence and the Force. His sword had been broken, and all but one of His lightsabers had returned with Him to realspace. Woljirtyûk had been destroyed during the fight, its crystal shattered and its energies dissipated. Only Kotsnwûl survived, albeit broken, and it was now left to the Dark Lord to repair His principle weapon.
Taking the pieces of Kotsnwûl with Him, the Dark Lord spent the next decade traveling across the galaxy. On His journey, He sought out convergences of powerful Force energies. He passed through ancient Sith tombs and decrepit Jedi temples alike, bouncing from one corner of the galaxy to the next, from the Deep Core to the depths of the Unknown Regions. During His travels, He collected mementos from each location, gathering them in His ship before moving onto the next; allowing the Dark Side of the Force to guide His path.
His long journey finally terminated on the world of Tash-Taral on the fringes of Wild Space. Touching down, the Dark Lord traveled across deserts of loose crystalline silt and seas of brine before finally coming to a deep valley. Within, carved into the walls of the canyon were rows of ancient Sith tombs, ground down by the sandstorms which blew through and scoured the canyon walls.
Killing the tomb's tuk'ata guardians, Carnifex passed into the burial mount. Within, He found an ancient Sith shrine made of black stone. Breaking the shrine, Carnifex took it's remains with Him to the hidden world of Remnicore. In the forges of His citadel, He set Himself to work rebuilding His lightsaber. Pouring all of His hate and malice into the metal as He forged, the Dark Lord created a weapon stronger and more attuned to the Dark Side than anything He'd wielded before.
The pieces of the shrine He'd plundered were fashioned into emitter claws, between which the crackling energy beam of His blade would pass. They were structurally reinforced to be weapons in their own right, punching through armor and flesh with equal ease. Sith runes were inscribed across the whole of the weapon, elevating it from a simple weapon to an object of ritual and power.
Returning to notoriety in the galaxy with Kotsnwûl at His side, the Dark Lord began to prepare for the next phase of His ambitions.
